Structural Impact Relationships Between Urban Development Intensity Characteristics and Carbon Dioxide Emissions in Korea
The goal of this study is to analyze the interrelated direct and indirect impacts of urban development intensity (UDI) characteristics on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Korea. The study also compares the main arguments and analysis results of previous studies on cities that are effective in reducing CO2 emissions. To do this, factors attributable to the UDI characteristics of Korea were selected, and CO2 emissions were calculated. Then, the impact of UDI characteristics on CO2 emissions was analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation model. The main results show that the physical, spatial, and socio-demographic characteristics of UDI have a direct impact on CO2 emissions, and physical, economic, and city-type characteristics indirectly affect CO2 emissions. As a result, we reach the following conclusions: (i) dense urban forms reduce CO2 emissions; (ii) economic characteristics of UDI have impact on total CO2 emissions, having both negative and positive effects; and (iii) medium and small cities have higher per capita CO2 emissions than do large cities.
